Although KURBI compiles the content with the utmost care, no rights may be derived from the information provided.

Biodiversity projects

The biodiversity projects described on this website may evolve as KURBI continues to develop.

Projects may be adapted, extended or discontinued where practical, ecological, financial or legal circumstances make this necessary.

Not all projects are available without limit.

KURBI reserves the right to refuse applications where:

• the maximum number of projects has been reached;

• insufficient suitable locations are available;

4. DISCLAIMER

Disclaimer

KURBI strives to provide accurate, scientifically sound and up-to-date information.

Biodiversity, however, is constantly evolving.

The projects described depend on numerous factors, including:

• weather conditions;

• natural processes;

• cooperation with partners;

• permits;

• availability of locations;

• legal developments.

KURBI can therefore give no guarantees regarding:

• the attraction of particular animal or plant species;

• the achievement of specific biodiversity objectives;

• the prevention of particular species;

• the exact ecological impact of individual projects.

Where the website refers to possible benefits for biodiversity, this concerns expected or intended effects based on current scientific insight and the specific circumstances of each project.

Companies may communicate that they support a KURBI biodiversity project. However, they may not make environmental claims that go beyond the actual contribution confirmed by KURBI.
